Mitosis & Meiosis
Unit 5 Review Part 1
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| molecule contains information that determines the traits that a living thing inherits. | dna |
| in a eukaryotic cell, one of the structures in the nucleus that are made up of DNA and protein; in a prokaryotic cell, the main ring of DNA. | chromosome |
| the division of the cytoplasm of a cell. | cytokinesis |
| divided into 3 sections (for eukaryotic cells): Interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis. | cell cycle |
| part of the cell cycle during which the nucleus divides. | mitosis |
| longest portion of the cell cycle. Prepares for cell division. | interphase |
| stage in mitosis where the chromosomes condense. | prophase |
| stage in mitosis where the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell. | metaphase |
| during this stage of mitosis, the chromatids move apart. | anaphase |
| Chromosomes take a side to the cell; last stage of mitosis. nuclear membrane begins to form. Cytokinesis begins. | telophase |
| chromosomes that have the same sequence of genes and the same structure. | homologous |
| fancy word for sex cells. | gamete |
| female sex cell. | egg |
| male sex cell. | sperm |
| double; pairs | diploid |
| single; half | haploid |
| type of cell division that produces haploid sex cells such as egg and sperm cells. | meiosis |
